Lewis Institute where they work to connect pastors and other church members to talk about the author’s ideas. He also serves on the board of the ABC Pregnancy Resource Center.

Outside of the office, Chris stays active. He goes hiking and camping with his three sons, and he enjoys coaching their soccer teams and watching them play. He also loves to watch his daughter dance.
